Boston Phoenix

FINDING PEACE: the message in John Cremona’s music is positive, but with a few side trips to Hell. But even his dark stories are buoyed by the light in his voice. It’s a gentle, relaxed instrument with an appealing tenor range set in the service of generous melodies.
Ted Drozdowski, 10/2003 The Boston Phoenix

Singer-songwriter-acoustic guitarist John Cremona serves up 11 acoustic-based originals that tend to lead toward the mellow side of the music spectrum. With a knack for clever lyrics, Cremona delivers his prose with an unaffected, almost stark reserve. However, the outcome manages an emotive quality that is undeniably potent. Assisted from song to song by a host of musical friends that add color and shape to the tracks, Cremona has filled his canvas with some interesting material. Best cuts include the beautiful "Twilight in Laredo," the melancholy of "St. Augustine," the Ode to Billy Joe-esque, "Bury Me On The Moon," and the album's engaging title track "Rain."
